It was tough for me to decide on what to do for pickups in this guitar. I'm doing a replica of Weir's 87 Blackknife, should I do the traditional Bartolini's or break the mold? I had to think to myself what do I like? After doing the Cowboy experiment with a Strat and following immediately in love with it. I've decided to do it my way.

The Cowboy Hybrid

The pickups and bridge are already routed the rest is photoshopped but this is the game plan.The pickups in the photo are not the ones that are going in the guitar. They were used for the template.
